Just recently she has begun to use her little hands, she grabs her dress and pulls it up so we can see her perfect little tummy and she also has found mommy's hair. She is also more interested in her toys these days, looking and swatting at them. She likes to lie on her back on the floor and play with her mommy & daddy (and of course this is her favorite tv watching position as well). She gets in a little bit of Bumbo time, but I don't know if she's completely convinced it is a good idea. She still enjoys her swing and gets the "swing" treatment if nothing else is making her happy. Sometimes I have trouble putting her down at night (it may take 2 or 3 times), I just like to pretend that she loves me so much she doesn't want to leave me. I continue to assure her that we'll be here when she wakes up, that seems to help ;)
She is starting to eat more, up to 6 oz at a time and she's going longer in between feedings, which is great! She is still nursing and taking a bottle and that seems to be working well for us. Still no rice cereal or baby food, but I know she'll be thrilled when that time comes.
She is sleeping better even though it's not always through the night. But then, sometimes it is. She goes to bed from anywhere around 8:30 to 10 and usually sleeps until 5 am unless it's one of her wake up at 3:30 am nights....which has been several times this week. She is definitely experiencing a growth spurt.
Last night she cried, uncontrollably and inconsolably, for about 30 minutes. It was H-O-R-R-I-B-L-E!!! I finally calmed her down by singing into her ear until she fell asleep. I thought maybe she got stung by a bee or something (not that we were outside) but alas, nothing was wrong! She was evidently just tired.
I don't know what else to say except that I LOVE HER! I can't get enough! What was I thinking not wanting a baby for 2 years!!!
Here she is sound asleep
Showing us her belly
With her sweet daddy
Dazed & Confused in her swing
Daddy helping her out with the Bumbo
She doesn't quite have it figured out on her own
Here she is with my sister, Shanon, and her cousins, Zach & Wade
